Getting Inspired

I've always been a fan of the "Do It Yourself" projects. I love the whole idea of re-purposing, transforming and bringing something from inspiration to fruition. I also love old things. Old homes, old furniture, old books, old quilts, old dishes and all things with character, items with a story.

I wish I could call myself an antiques enthusiast, but really that requires a huge investment of time AND money.

I have dreams of coming across that ultimate find. Becoming the reupholstering queen, of tiling, sanding and staining, filling my home with items I've loved and transformed.

But, for now, I'll start off small.

The short list.

1. Refinish our watermarked bed side tables. Time for a new look.

2. Make a headboard for our bed.

3. Paint my girls Bunk Beds an antique white.

So now you know where my mind wanders when I have nothing else going on. What I think about as I drift off to sleep. I'm dreaming, not of sugar plums and fairies, but of power tools, paint colors and flea market finds.

We're BACK!

So, because of some issues logging into my old email address, (Google did something to my password!!) I was unable to blog! BUT, I figured it out (had to go to an email I have not used in like 4 years!

There's just too much to catch up on, so I'll start with life now. :)

In the meantime, enjoy some pictures of our growing girlies...
